Wallets

If you’re searching for where to store Cardano, ada, you’ve come to the right page. The best cardano wallet is a hotly debated topic in the Cardano community, and there are many types of Cardano wallet, all listed here, available to users. The only Cardano desktop wallet available is Daedalus, a full node wallet that downloads the complete Cardano blockchain, ~100GB.

By far the most popular type of wallet is a Cardano light wallet and there are many of these for you to choose from. The second most popular type of wallet is a Cardano web wallet. Most Cardano wallets will show the Cardano price, and a few have even the integrated the ability for you to buy Cardano, ada, directly in the wallet!

Almost all the wallets listed above allow you participate in the Cardano staking protocol, Ouroboros, where you can help to secure the network and earn passive income in the form of staking rewards. Many of the wallets listed above will also allow you to search for which pool to stake your Cardano, ada, to right in the wallet itself.

Finally, there are multiple Cardano cold storage wallets for you to choose from. There are five hardware wallets that offer native support for where to store ada, and two of them, the Ledger and Trezor are supported by multiple light wallets allowing you to use your favorite interface to keep your coins secure in cold storage.

NFT

If you’re looking for a Cardano NFT then you’ve found the place for you! listed here are all the projects that feature NFTs in some form on Cardano. NFTs are no longer just the PFP collections that made them famous, although many do still exists and you can find Cardano NFT projects here, NFTs are assets with multiple different types of utility, depending on which project’s NFTs your buying.

A Cardano NFT is a native asset on Cardano which means that, unlike on other (specifically EVM-based) chains, an NFT is not managed by a smart contract, meaning that it behaves and is managed differently to the chain’s base asset, ada. On Cardano NFTs behave the same as the chains base asset as they are native to the chain.

On this page you’ll find everything from Cardano NFT projects to DeFi projects and decentralized identity (DID) solutions that have incorporated NFTs, to the Cardano NFT marketplaces you can use to purchase NFTs.

Metadata

Metadata is an element of a Cardano transaction that can be inputed by the user or automatically generated. It is stored on the blockchain with the transaction that it was sent with. This means that, just like the transactions themselves, metadata is immutable, i.e. unchangeable, and stored forever on the Cardano blockchain.

Anyone can add metadata into a transaction and that metadata is then stored on the blockchain. Many wallets allow you to add custom metadata to a transaction.

Metadata can only be made up of characters i.e. numbers, letters and punctuation, and cannot be a file type, i.e. you cannot unload files like PDFs or MP3s to the blockchain. The size of the metadata you can add to a transactions is limited to 16KB, and a character is, typically, 1 Byte, so that means you can add up to 1600 characters as metadata with any transaction.

Metadata can be used for many purposes the most common is to give some form of context to the transaction. Metadata has been used to store supply chain data, to send arbitrary message to be stored on the blockchain, and to store the hash of a document (allowing the blockchain to be used for proof-of-existence). People have used metadata, on the testnet, to immortalize the Cardano whitepaper, by writing it onto the blockchain as transactions across multiple transactions.

Many block explorers allow users to view and search transaction metadata. Remember, anything you add as metadata to a transaction will always be publicly available on the blockchain.

Browser Extension

A browser extension is an application that lives in your browser and can be injected into websites and dApps, allowing you to interact with them. The most common browser extensions in the crypto world are light wallets that allow users to interact with dApps such as NFT marketplaces and other blockchain based websites and dApps.

Other things such as ad-blockers and coupon applications are also browser extensions. Browser extensions are often located in the top right hand corner of your browser, inline with the search bar.
